Workshops
As writers, we are always learning. At the start of 2022, we began a series of WordFam Workshops to learn about punctuation and grammar together as a group. The workshops happen regularly on our Discord server, and everyone is welcome! Check out the calendar to see when the next one is.
Don’t worry if you missed a workshop! Each session is recorded and you can catch up with them here.
